Drunk as a skunk

My elderly vizsla Marko went under anesthesia today to have his teeth cleaned and to have a benign skin tumor, which had begun bleeding, removed from his back. He's been on the couch for 45 minutes now in this exact pose:

I keep gently pushing his head and chest to his left so he's resting against the cushion, and he keeps sliding back to the right into a disorganized sprawl. Poor drunk dog.

Do those legs go all the way up? Poor fellow. My Willow (border collie, not horse) had a very hard time coming out of her last anesthetic. I'm sure Marko will be sobered up by morning. Hair 'o the dog shouldn't be a problem for him...

Thanks for following!
